    Predatory loans is a great example

    Yes it is.

    they’re not taken out because people have bad decision making ability but because they’re left with no other choices.

    Bruh have you forgotten about the global recession of 2006? There were people that had 4 and 5 houses.

    You’ve never heard of the auto loan scams?

    Never heard of the mobile home scams?

    None of those situations are improved by people taking out loans they know they can’t afford.

    Quoting the dictionary isn’t how you learn about things!

    So…how am I supposed to learn, exactly? You’re going to tell me? Wikipedia says something similar. If there’s another definition, that’s not the one I was referring to. But you knew that, didn’t you?

        Have they considered renaming the movement? It’s a bit like “believe all women” or “anti-work”. You’re shooting yourself in the foot by using words with concrete definitions that don’t mean what you’re trying to convey.

                Lots of people have misconceptions

                I mean when everyone else has a common understanding of the term, and you’re the only one with the “correct” understanding, doesn’t it make more sense that maybe you are the one with the misunderstanding?
